I need you advice guys, what would you do to make the rear end stay planted, its wanting to brake loose to much.

set up
f=7
c=5
r=2

shocks and sway bars are the ones in the new kit

400 shock oil

14t clutch bell w/ 1.0 springs

every thing else is off the stock setup sheet. the car is very fast jumps and turns like a dream just the a$$ gets loose coming out of the big sweeper turn coming onto the front straight.

Hamby, what are your droop settings? More droop in the front will put more weight on the rear of the car under acceleration...But it sounds like you need to either run less negative rear camber or change the link location like was suggested. I would also try some .9 springs and maybe some carbon shoes. That would make the biggest change.

I have heard that the truggy will be out around March but
that's just talk.
It sure will be interesting, especially if it gets as many changes as the buggy.

Another good night last night with the mbx6. An observation though as the car seems to be pretty tire dependant. I am use to as long as you have a ok to good set of tires your ok, but with the mbx6 and the current setup it seems I have to have the right tire........good just isn't enough. Also, I may try going back down to 7K in the front, as I have also found that when you start pushing it, it gets to be a handful to drive. Not sure if it is the 10k in the front diff or the tires, but when I am pushing it gets really loose in the corners.

might try removing the S3 o-rings from the rear diff, if they are in there..

try a 2.7 rear bar and white jammin springs with 6 hole pistons and 300 oil. inside holes on the rear a arm and middle on the tower. the front is the 9.25 spring,375 oil,6 hole pistons and outer hole on a arm and middle on tower with a 2.3 bar. 7 4 2 on the diffs and .9 springs with a 14 cb. car is really good,fast and easy to drive.
